Very well. Please show me the passages that backup your claim. You can use English, been a while since I studied Greek. I will start

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Is NKJV acceptable translation for you? I know the NIV is a bit more accurate so I understand if you want to use that instead.

At what point does that say to call gay people slurs and to judge them? How does this justify implementing discriminatory laws against them? It even says "and such were some of you", showing that they were likely guilty of this at one point.

These commands also only applied to Christians. They weren't to be enforced outside of the Church. You cited 1 Corinthians 6, however turning back a book to 1 Corinthians 5, the following is stated at verse 12&13:

‭What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. ‘Expel the wicked person (someone who was having sex with his father's wife who was unrepentant and without shame) from among you.’

So basically, it's not really a Christian's business what non-christians do. It's only their business to bring them to Christ. Christ can then work within them, and it will be up to a Christian to help support them in resisting temptations to commit those sins.
